Run it on a schedule

This actor is built for repeat use. Set it to run daily, weekly, or hourly, and the data keeps flowing without you touching it.

• Schedule runs — open the actor, go to Schedules, and pick a cadence. Each run only charges you for the results it returns.
• Connect it to your stack — push results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or your database using Apify Integrations. No glue code needed.
• Pull results via API — every run writes a clean dataset you can fetch with one API call, ready for whatever you build on top of it.

Set it once and it runs on its own.

---

Known limitations

• Some fields (surface, year built, energy label) are only returned when the lister publishes them — expect null on a share of records.
• Listing photos and agent details vary per listing; the scraper returns what the source publishes and never invents data.
• Very large result sets are bounded by the source's own paging limits.
• Listings can be withdrawn at any time, so a small share of URLs may expire shortly after scraping.

---

Technical details

• Coverage: everything the public search exposes, filterable via the input parameters above
• Retry: automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
• Formats: results export to JSON, CSV and Excel from the dataset
